Abstract:
The educational programme aulaDcine offers school centers materials, resources and strategies for working multiple literacies, such as linguistic communication, media literacy, and social and cultural interaction with the environment, enhancing learning through and about film in Europe.

aulaDcine facilitates the comprehension and interpretation of audiovisual messages to school population with special needs or in risk of social exclusion, offering the possibility to choose from different languages, subtitles, or audio descriptions for hearing or visually- impaired children.

aulaDcine gives children and young students tools to develop critical thinking and analysis, improving linguistic competences in both their native and foreign languages.
